The honking of geese drifts across the water as morning mist lifts from Nene Park's sprawling lakes and meadows. Ferry Meadows Caravan Club Site sits within one of the region's finest country parks, where 500 acres of woodland, wetland and open grassland provide a surprisingly green escape just beyond Peterborough's edge. The site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans year-round, making it equally suited to winter birdwatchers and summer families exploring the Cambridgeshire Fens.
The surrounding parkland offers kilometres of walking and cycling trails threading past the River Nene, while the lakes attract sailors, paddleboarders and anglers. It's classic East Anglian landscape—big skies, flat horizons, and reed-fringed waters that shift from silver to gold depending on the light.
Onsite facilities keep things straightforward with toilets and showers serving your pitch. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask at reception if you're planning evening flames. The real draw here is the location itself—step from your tent straight into nature reserve territory, with the park's meadows and waterways providing entertainment enough for those who appreciate wildlife over WiFi.
